Guys (& girls - are you there ? :-),
I doesnt seem to me like the issue is anything about who owns the compiler,
whether payments goes for support or developement, or anything the like.
The issue is about two questions :
1. Is the GNAT a good Ada compiler ? (= is software X worthy of use ?)
2. Does support give the bang for the bucks, and will continue to do
so in the future ?
As the first question is ignored in this thread, I think it boils down to
the second - would GNAT users get their money's worth of support or not.
The arguments claiming that the software's & support's quality having to do
anything with where the money goes are vacuum thin - people might do good job
for free, or bad job for good money, and payment might always cover non
product related expenses (taxes, delivery, company overheads, whatever).
One should check what he gets and what he pays. Idly philosophising about
legal intricacies and money distribution wouldnt get anyone anywhere.
Uri Raz.
